It's a different person..that registrars name actually is "Luke Wayne" and ours is "Wayne Luke"..plus he lives in a different location (do you think our Wayne would have the address cactuscorner.com! hmm)

But figure the odds..how everything is so connected..its just too weird.

The power of coincidence:
TV hucksters like Uri Geller rely on the power of coincidence for many scams. If he's got some broadcast going with an audience in the UK of, let's say 7.5 million, and says 'I want you all to think about stopping time', the odds are that some people will find that their clock stopped/ fell off the wall/wristwatch packed in/video clock went on the blink etc. etc. If ten people (out of 7.5 million) ring up saying that kind of thing, he can then blather on about how this proves esp and telekinesis does exist. All because of a few gullible chumps.
Still, the coincidence is striking in this case. It must have been a real 'scratch head in bemusement' moment. I like the Kennedy/Lincoln thread, too.
